Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Nephral 500ST Artificial Kidneys" under the industry category of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. The procurement method was limited, specifically an award procedure without the prior publication of a call for competition, due to the exclusive rights held by the supplier. The contract, valued at £136,000 GBP, was awarded on 9 September 2024, with delivery to be made to locations in Belfast. The key supplier for this contract is Vantive Ltd., based in Liverpool, ensuring continuity of critical medical supplies for haemodialysis treatments prescribed by consultant nephrologists.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture or distribution of specialised medical equipment, particularly those with unique or patent-protected products. Companies that can offer innovative solutions or hold exclusive rights to critical medical devices may find substantial growth potential in similar procurement processes, especially when specific medical needs dictate limited competition. Businesses well-suited to compete for such tenders include large-scale suppliers of bespoke medical devices, manufacturers of biocompatible diagnostic equipment, and firms specialising in high-value, niche medical solutions.
